The atomic numbers and valence electron configurations for three halogens are provided in the table below.

Element	Atomic number	Valence electron configuration
\(\text{F}\)	\(9\)	\(2s^2\,2p^5\)
\(\text{Cl}\)	\(17\)	\(3s^2\,3p^5\)
\(\text{Br}\)	\(35\)	\(4s^2\,4p^5\)

Which of the following lists the elements in order of decreasing electronegativity and provides the correct justification?
